We investigated CFTR activation by clinically used phosphodiesterase inhibitors (PDEis) in Calu-3 cell monolayers alone and in combination with A2B adenosine receptor stimulation. This receptor pathway has previously been shown to activate wildtype and mutant CFTR molecules. Several PDEis, including milrinone, cilostazol (Pletal®), papaverine, rolipram, and sildenafil (Viagra®) produced Isc that was glibenclamide sensitive, achieving 20-85% of forskolin-stimulated Isc. Papaverine, cilostazol, and rolipram also augmented both the magnitude and the duration of Isc following low dose stimulation of adenosine receptors with Ado (0.1 to 1.0 µM, p < 0.01). Subsequent studies demonstrated that very low concentrations of cilostazol or papaverine (~1/2 peak serum concentrations) were sufficient to activate Isc, and both agents markedly augmented Ado-stimulated Isc (1 µM, p < 0.01). Our results provide evidence that select PDEis, at concentrations achieved as part of systemic therapies, can activate CFTR-dependent Isc in Calu-3 cell monolayers. These studies also indicate that PDEis have the capacity to augment an endogenous CFTR-activating pathway in an "in vivo"-like model system, and support future investigations of these agents relevant to cystic fibrosis.
